Bridge to Work Program
MWorks’ Bridge to Work program is a unique and highly effective
work hardening program. Unlike typical work hardening programs which
simulate a work environment in a clinical setting, MWorks’
Bridge to Work program places the client in a volunteer position
in a real work environment. MWorks’ OTs provide job coaching
for the patient and coordination with the client’s supervisor.
Conducting the Bridge to Work activity in combination with a real
work setting allows the therapist to help the client master the
skills to succeed when he or she returns to work.

Customized services based on the needs of
the employer. These services include assessment of specific equipment
needs, possible loan of equipment and follow-up consultation as
needed. Can include the development of resources for identified
accommodations and miscellaneous follow-up services with key stakeholders
(case managers, work supervisors or other involved individuals)
critical for long-term employment success.
